Two Israeli hostages handed to Red Cross in Khan Younis


Two Israeli hostages have been handed to the Red Cross in a highly-orchestrated event in Khan Younis.

Ofer Kalderon, 53, and Yarden Bibas, 34, were among the hostages taken to Gaza by Hamas during the 7 October attacks.

It is the fourth release of hostages since the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas began on 19 January. In exchange, Israel are expected to release more than 180 Palestinians who have been held in Israeli prisons.
